Annual Appeal Week is our biggest fundraising campaign of the year.

February 7th - 13th 2024

Every year GAP relies on funds raised through our Annual Appeal Week which takes place during the second week of February. With the impact of Covid-19, we have been going virtual with our fundraisers and volunteers. This year we plan to make Appeal Week our biggest and best fundraiser yet! Mixing virtual and traditional fundraising together, we need your help!

There are many ways you can contribute to our Annual Appeal:

The easiest way to help is by making a donation

Your donation funds our rehoming programme with post-adoption advice and support for the lifetime of a pet greyhound. It provides care for hounds in foster care, contributes to their vet costs and assists with training and orientation. These activities set them up for success in joining a loving forever family.

Volunteer for 2 hours (or more) and take to the streets!

Put the Street in Street Appeal and volunteer for a couple of hours on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday. We need volunteers all over NZ to help us raise donations. Just two hours of your time can make a bucketload of difference to help greyhounds find loving families. Bring your hound along to help promote adoption and raise even more! Grab a bucket, bring a smile and have fun while giving back.  To find out more and register your interest, please click here or contact our National Events and Volunteer Coordinator Dawn at dawn@gap.org.nz. She is coordinating all volunteers and will put you in touch with your local street appeal organiser. 

ยทYou can organise your own fundraiser โ€“ at home, with friends and family, through a club, or at work

These activities need not be difficult to set up โ€“ baking cupcakes or biscuits and selling them at work, asking family/friends to sponsor you for a Walk-a-thon or hosting a meal. Got an item you no longer want? Run an online auction using Trademe!

 

Set up a GiveaLittle page

Tell your GAP story โ€“ who you adopted and why, what do they mean to you? Share what we do and why we need assistance. In just a few steps, you can set up your own fundraising page for the GAP annual appeal to make it even easier for your family and friends to support you. Why not challenge yourself and have people sponsor you for completing a task that pushes you out of your comfort zone?

Need some inspiration? Here's an example from previous years:

 

Need advertising help?

You can print an Appeal week poster here to display in your community, at your local club or workplace with a donation box.

 

Every dollar assists us to continue with our rehoming activities, the more people who contribute to fundraising initiatives the more successful we will be!
